As they passed the cave, the bundle gave a pitiful wail. This was enough. With a silent rush, like three bull-dogs, our heroes shot forth. Rooney, having forgotten his weapon, used his fist instead, planted his knuckles on the bridge of the leader's nose, and ruined it, as a bridge, for evermore. The robber went down, turned a complete back-somersault, regained his feet, and fled.
Because there are such reprehensible and unutterably detestable insects as mosquitoes, and sand-flies, and bull-dogs; and there is such a thing as being bitten, and stung, and worried, and sucked into a sort of partial madness; and I have seen such sights as men perpetually slapping their own faces, and scratching the skin off their own cheeks with their own nails, and getting no relief thereby, but rather making things worse; and I have, moreover, seen men's heads swelled until the eyes and noses were lost, and the mouths only visible when opened, and their general aspect like that of a Scotch haggis; and there is a time when all this accumulates on man and beast till the latter takes to the water in desperation, and the former takes to intermittent insanity, and that time is summer.
He felt for his studio key, muttering, "I wonder I wonder, but of course he doesn't!" He entered the hallway, and fitting the key into the door, stood staring at the two cards tacked over the panels. "Why the devil doesn't he want me to speak of her?" He opened the door, and, discouraging the caresses of two brindle bull-dogs, sank down on the sofa.
Here he ran into a livery stable where a dog fight had been going on in the back yard. Two ferocious bull-dogs, had fought so wickedly that their jaws had had to be pried apart. One of the dogs had a chain around its neck and its owner was going to lead it off when one of the livery men saw Billy and called out: "Wait a minute Mr. Pride, here's a Billy goat I bet can lick your dog.
"I don't take no stock in the bull-dogs and the gold harness at Long Branch and and all them lies the dratted newspapers print about you," Ephraim hammered his umbrella on the pavement as an expression of his feelings, "and what's more, the people don't." The President glanced at the senator again, and laughed a little, quietly. "Thank you; Comrade," he said.
It was at the Bull-dogs, a fall of water on the borders of the park, that Tom Cogglesby, then a hearty young man, had been guilty of his folly: had mistaken her frank friendliness for a return of his passion, and his stubborn vanity still attributed her rejection of his suit to the fact of his descent from a cobbler, or, as he put it, to her infernal worship of rank.
Thar's herds an' bands of folks an' animals who's fixed sim'lar. They can start, an' they can't let up. Thar's bull-dogs: They begins a war too easy; but the c'pacity to quit is left out of bull-dogs entire. Same about nose-paint with gents I knows. They capers up to whiskey at the beginnin' like a kitten to warm milk; an' they never does cease no more. An' that's how the kyards falls to raccoons.

"Can't do so; they be part of the furniture, they be stand there all handy for the next one, too, maybe you;" and he vanished with a sardonic grin. Jakes did not submit to the indignities of unbuckling portmanteaus and having his legs sniffed at by bull-dogs for nothing.
"Pray, sir, has she much of an armament?" continued the stranger, who began to lose his thoughtful air, in the more evident interest he was beginning to lake in the discourse. "Yes, yes; she is not without a few bull-dogs, to bark in defence of her own rights, and to say a word in support of his Majesty's honour, too; God bless him!
